I also found "master" to be somewhat awkward, but the argument for
retaining the Git Flow default names is a strong one, as it eliminates the
need to teach a new set of names to the many folks that already know Git
Flow names, and means that a lot of training and tutorial material out on
the web applies directly to Boost.

Also note that "develop" may be stable too, if that is the policy of the
individual library.
